History

In 1922 the Surrey School Board had agreed to buy land on the corner of Stokes Road and Clover Valley Road as well as provide workers and materials needed to build a one-room school, a wood shed and two outhouses. The school opened on May 25, 1922 and the first teacher was Mrs. Delta Hugh who was the wife of Fabian Hugh of Hugh and McKinnon. For the first decade the school did not have any lighting because electricity was not available yet but the students and teachers compromised with candles and natural daylight. In 1942 the school finally replaced their old wood stove with a central heating system giving more efficient heat throughout the school. The school was given the name of Grandview Heights because of the grand view of Semiahmoo Bay and Blaine that could be seen from the roof of the school. Although the school has served many students it has been set to close in 2006 and the students from the school will transfer to a new school named Pacific Heights.
